HCG ** MDV 500U/ML INJ, Injection, 500u/mL recalled

Timeline

Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.

Reason for recall

Lack of Assurance of Sterility: The firm is recalling sterile compounded drugs within expiry due to lack of assurance of sterility.

A sterility recall means a product that must be sterile, such as an injection or eye drop, may be contaminated. Using a non-sterile product can cause serious infection.
